I think its very exciting to see telemedicne applications being developed
for this platform. But I also think you need to be very careful here. There
are multiple studies on resolutuion of images and utility for various
telemedicine purposes. (ie Still images from a 2 megapixel camera are likely
mimimal for wound care, follow up, etc.) In that scenario, video at 1 or 2
fps wouldnt be very good for assessing wounds. I think Bob is on target when
it comes to the value add of video when it comes to doing evidence-based
telemedicine.
For example, if you are assessing a movement disorder, or trying to assess
non-verbal cues in a psych patient, this will not be possible at 1-2fps.
there are times when you need full motion viedeo, there are times where
you need higher resolution than the camera can provide.
but those are not all cases.
saying that it's no good for those cases if valid, but the way it is being
said implies that if it's not good enough for those cases it's completely
useless for all cases, and shouldn't be deployed.
